Bergara B14 HMR .308

Hey guys,

Looking for some user feedback on the above rifle. I’d like to venture into bolt actions and I keep seeing this model of rifle show up. If you have one how do you like it? What would you or have you changed on it?

By far my favorite bolt action. It's an absolute tack driver and the what you get for the money is incredible.

yes, I have the 20 inch 308 barrel. I typically use a Rugged Razor suppressor with it.

It is a great rifle for the money, don't hesitate. Bergara provides incredible value.

Only 20" barrel in .308. 22" & 24" barrels available in 6.5 CM.

I've been eyeballing the HMR as well... they recently released a left handed model!

Do you think you need a longer barrel?

One of the things I love about this rifle is that it performs well with a lot of different ammo. These are all 5 shot groups with different ammo at 100 yards. I don't pretend to be the world's best shooter, I'm sure some here could tighten these up

I don’t know, the only experience I have with bolt guns is the M24 which I believe is a 24in.

308 really doesn't gain much from a barrel longer than 20".

This will be my first .308 so it seems perfect
